hello folks at Catalyst.I usually hold your program in high regard for it's open minded exploration of our world of interesting discoveries.

It's with some perturbation & disapointment that your program recently promoted Water Fluoridation , & was clearly biased towards it's further implementation ,, without any counter argument being presented. I expected better. I consider this episode highly irresponsible & due for stern criticism.

As a Science program , I would have thought that your research should have encompassed views by other that the two most forceful proponents of mass medication. I have made many enquiries into the efficacy of Water Fluoridation & have discovered much to my horror that it is a highly toxic , industrial waste from china that isn't even a medical grade medicine , that is also contaminated with heavy metals & is being put in our clean drinking water as a panacea for tooth decay. Research why many countries in Europe USA & Canada have banned it , Research Dental Fluorosis & the aggravation of osteoporosis.

please do your research thoroughly & make all sides of this public health debate available for all to discern , rather than producing a highly popular program viewed by many , as a one sided promotion on the GOOD that fluoride does for our teeth. Please research why , it is advised , that the very young , the pregnant mothers , the aged & the Kidney compromised , should NOT ingest fluoride in drinking water. Does it make any sense to drink some thing that should be applied topically to the tooth surface rather than ingested , taken through the bloodstream to be deposited in bones & the vital organs of the body. It would be like pouring oil all over your car to give it a an oil change. This dosage is also uncontrollable , as athletes who drink many times the amounts of water to replace that which is lost through physical exertion.

Further more , there has never been a referendum on this matter ( that is we the people we never given a choice ) & governments simply went ahead with their policy without the proper painstaking & comprehensive investigation , which most medicines are put through before they are put on the market.

The facts exist that this form of forced mass medication will have it's deleterious outcome in years to come , just like DDT & Asbestos , were once thought HARMLESS.. please address this publicly & respond with an honest reevaluation to all those who are deeply concerned with this unnecessary & unwanted poisoning of our water.

in open protest , Jay Mark.
